Fill occurs after the verb failed. Makes good sense.
I just now read the DOJ, which will need change:
http://www.jsoftware.com/docs/help701/dictionary/d321.htm
"The fit conjunction(,.!.f)provides fill specified by the atomf."
2 3(,.!._)5 6 7
|length error

As you have shown, the fill is easy enough to achieve. So there -
since we have similar operations we might as well be some differences
between them.
That said, note that the padding computational model can be described like this:
1) break the arguments into cells
2) apply verb to the relevant cells
3) assemble the result into a an array, padding if necessary
The length error, here, happens at "step" 2.
Does that help?
Thanks,
